When I finally reached the radio, I gave them a call sign I hadn’t used in eight months: Eagle One…

When a bloodied Navy SEAL carried his dying military dog into my emergency room, he threatened anyone who tried to separate them. Even the military police couldn’t make him step aside.

Six days after I took my oath as attorney general, a Millbrook officer made me kneel on a wet curb because I was driving “too nice a car.” He refused to hear my name. A nursing student kept filming from her red truck, and when she told me what he had done to her father, I knew this stop wasn’t where the story began…
